Faith & Freedom Speakers Deride Obama’s Iraq Policy

Speaker after speaker came to the Faith & Freedom Coalition stage to bash President Barack Obama’s handling of Iraq policy. But there was little in the way of specific prescriptions for what else should be done.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) lamented the diminished number of Iraqi Christians. John Bolton mocked Mr. Obama for supporting “regime change … more than a day late and a dollar short.” Ralph Reed went for the handy criticism of Mr. Obama’s golf games, saying “this administration fiddles while Rome burns.” And New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Mr. Obama is “pulling back of American influence and American ideas across the world is having catastrophic effects.”
